Ethan Page recreated the Shawn Michaels “I lost my smile”
speech from the same building where HBK delivered it
originally in 1997 at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in
Lowell, Massachusetts last night on NXT.
But it was all a setup and Je’Von Evans found out the hard
way what Page is really made out of.
Page, who has been on a bit of a losing streak lately, cut a
great promo in the ring, mentioning that all he wanted to do
is provide for his family. A somber Page then said that he
lost his smile, before he was interrupted by Je’Von Evans.
Evans said that everyone wanted to see the real Page and
said that he was proud of him, and NXT was proud of him too.
An emotional Page responded saying that Evans was right, and
now everything is clear for him…he should not be worried
about losing his smile, but rather, he should worry about
taking Evans’ smile.
At that point, Page whacked Evans with the mic as the crowd
went crazy, realizing they fell for Page’s ruse. Page then
got a chair, wrapped it around Evans’ head and he jumped on
the chair as he screamed, “You want the real me? This is the
real me?”
As soon as Page jumped on the chair, Evans spit out blood
everywhere in perfect sync, making it a fantastic shot.
Officials quickly hit the ring and the show went to
commercials
